My only wish for 800SG is that they do add the PDF zoom (including fit width in landscape orientation) as well as the annotation feature in the "April" firmware release. Finger crossed.

What a coincidence! I would make full use of both screens though. I guess the prudent thing to do is to wait for some hands on review. Shouldn't be much longer; first shipments have been sent out this week.

I don't think I'll part with my Sony.

My order status in Amazon payment is : OPEN.

I am not sure what they mean by it , but definitly it is much better than BACKORDERED.

Another $40 off -- that really tempts me to throw caution into the wind, get it right now and hope for upgrades and hackers to provide us with the needed features.

Just tried to order for delivery to Canada and got a message that my address is not supported by the merchant

I might try a PO box in Blaine as I'm pretty close to the border.

Changed shipping address to PO box in Point Roberts Washington and the order went through. Only thing is, when I tried ordering through Amazon, there was no discount. When I placed the order through Car Toys and paid through Amazon the discount showed up. The only downside for me is I have to pay sales tax in Washington and again when I cross the border, but it would be the same with Best Buy.

That's precisely what I thought when I placed my order a couple minutes ago.

think about it - i was selling the Onyx Boox 60 for 359 shipped in the US just 2 weeks ago. Granted there was a coupon for MR members to get it for less but still i sold half of them at that $359 price.

maybe I should buy more at this price and then resell them for $10 more to the Europeans

yybug · 02-28-2010, 02:25 PM

why i cannot see any Amazon check out option ?

Looks like the offer is no longer available. They removed the "Amazon checkout" button from the checkout page. Curiously enough, the button is still there for other items at Car Toys. Did anyone manage to get the 10% off recently (today)?

Just got my notice from Car Toys, SHIPPED. UPS says billing info received, guess I better go cancel my BB order.

Mine is also on its way! Wow, so it turns out we benefited from a 1.5-day-only limited-time offer. I'm glad I was able to spot this before too late, thanks to pauli's pointer. I've been hesitating to buy one mainly due to lack of PDF zoom and annotation feature, and voila! a better deal + the good news about future upgrades = no reason to wait any more.
